This is why the US will have time to field the Crusader in any war with a major power.


Nice, well researched post, Carl. The Crusader is one of those "Nice to have" items. The one that really pisses me off is the Air Force getting the F22 Raptor when they have the JSF coming on line. I don't really see a need for either, but for sure we don't need both.

The Air Force never wants to do ground support, like the Navy never wants to do convoy escort, or mine laying and sweeping.

No glamour, or big buck weapon systems, in those roles.
